Free ADHD training for professionals that will enhance your clinical practice and support your professional development.
Keep your ADHD knowledge up to date
It’s hard to keep up with all the new research on ADHD. New studies are published, recommendations change, and there isn’t always a simple way to know what the evidence means for your daily practice. Yet, staying informed is essential for delivering the best possible care to your patients and clients.
This free CPD ADHD training helps you stay at the forefront of ADHD treatment in children and young people. You’ll gain immediate insights into the latest research and learn how to translate these findings into your day-to-day practice.
Designed for busy professionals, our on-demand video modules are easy to fit around your clinical work. Learn on your desktop, tablet, or mobile – anytime, anywhere.
Learn from Professor Samuele Cortese
Professor Samuele Cortese (University of Southampton) is a leading expert in child and adolescent psychiatry, with extensive experience in ADHD research and evidence-based clinical practice.
Throughout the training, he’ll walk you through the latest evidence behind ADHD treatment: what we know so far, where questions still remain, and how research can help you make well-informed clinical decisions.
What this ADHD training covers
ADHD treatment isn’t always straightforward, and what works well for one child may not be the best option for another.
This ADHD CPD training explores both the pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments available. You’ll look at the evidence behind different treatment approaches and, more importantly, how it might affect the decisions you make in clinical practice.
In this ADHD training for professionals, you’ll learn about topics including:
What is the prevalence of ADHD?
How common is ADHD around the world, and why does having reliable prevalence data matter? We look at what the figures tell us, including how ADHD symptoms may continue to follow a person from childhood into adulthood.
Differences between ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR criteria for ADHD
This session explores the key differences between the DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 criteria for diagnosing ADHD. You’ll discover how symptoms can vary, what “partial remission” actually means, and the role that culture can play in ADHD diagnosis and treatment across a range of populations.
Comorbidity between ADHD and medical conditions
This lesson dives deeper into the links between ADHD and physical health and why providing integrated care for ADHD symptoms and treatment matters.
Non-pharmacological treatment for ADHD
What does the evidence tell us about ADHD treatments beyond medication? Learn about the role of non-pharmacological treatment options such as behavioural interventions, parent training, cognitive training, neurofeedback, and neuromodulation.
Pharmacological treatment of ADHD
Gain a greater understanding of the current pharmacological treatments for ADHD, from their efficacy and tolerability to what we know about their longer-term effects.
Practical aspects of the pharmacological treatment of ADHD
Explore the practical aspects of ADHD medication management, including how to choose the ‘right’ medication, optimise a patient’s dosage, and respond when comorbid conditions complicate the decision.
Interpreting the evidence base: Examples from ADHD
What should you look for when interpreting ADHD research? This session will enhance your understanding of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, plus how to use these findings to inform your clinical practice.
What you’ll gain from this ADHD CPD
This ADHD training for professionals can help you build the confidence you need to make sense of the ADHD evidence base and objectively weigh up different treatment approaches. Most importantly, you will gain practical insights you can immediately bring back to your daily work with children, young people, and their families.
